Hello and welcome to the computer labs YouTube channel so in this video I'm
going to show you how to install the nest camera
IQ camera which is obviously manufactured by Nest which is part of
Google
so before we get to the actual install a little bit about the computer lab we are
not sponsored by nest in any way or Google in any way these products are all
purchased and pretty much the same way as if you would purchase your camera if
you buy one off the internet but if you are thinking of buy one please do look
in the description below that is a small affiliate link which will give us a
small cut in this sale if you purchase one through the link in the description
below okay so back to the installation I'm going to start off with the unbox
and the product just to see and show you what you actually get for your money so
the price for the nest cam IQ outdoor is about 320 pounds or $350 in video are in
America you then have to we don't have to buy
but it is recommended that you buy a subscription to their cloud service
which saves all the footage via the Internet
to a cloud service that you can access 24/7 and they come in different models I
think the base model starts at 5 days which is about 40 pound per year for 12
months worth or about $50 or you can actually go on to say a months worth with in
the cloud they're both set up once you set your account or through a nest once
the camera is up and running you do also get a free trial currently which is
included a things to week 14 day trial of the particular service and then you
can just add on to that ok so back to the unboxing see here you get what you
get just pull the camera and put it to one side you get an instruction manual
but there is a nice app that walks you through the process but this book tells
you approximate Heights where to install it how to install the backplate and then
stuff like that so it's worth just quickly skimming through that before you
get to your install ok so what else to get in the box
you get a seven and a half meter power cable this is the power supply which
goes from the wall plug to the camera and you notice on each end of the cable
they are labeled which end is to connect to what so that was at the end for the
power supply and this one I was camera on and that's the one that
connects to the back of the camera they also have little rubber ends on them
that you need to take off before you install there's a nice long cable what
with seven and a half meters also the tie wrap attached to it which you can see
there now you un ravel that so you've got a bit of cable left over once
you install and you can wrap that backup with the little tie wrap velcro tie
wrap that's attached to the king pre attached to the cable so this is the
power supply it's obviously 240 volt UK plug with the USB C power connector on
it and the only other thing again in the Box is a small box with some bits and
pieces on so just to show you there's nothing else in there
it's just up to old cardboard packaging but yeah getting back to the box I've
just pulled out that has some raw plugs in it and this small allen key
which unlocks the camera from its backplate so this is the small allen key
that unlocks the camera like so from the backplate I'll show you that in a second
and how that works you get some cable clips you get some stainless screws
twelve stainless screws and the plugs raw plugs to suit them screws once
you're installing they are a stainless the screw like so far outside so they're a
bit soft so make sure you use the right head when screwing them into the wall
this particular camera is actually going on and inside of a warehouse
so I will be using the plug but not the cable clips as a little protective cover
that you need to take off once you get it installed and this is the back plate
so it shows you how to remove the back plate if you click it into position and
Google do or Nest to do put a small rubber in between it and just to stop in
locking when you initially get the camera out of the box but that one key
goes in the hole where and unlocks the camera the main camera from the back
plate that's attached to the wall so this little back plate like sits on a
rubber stop is a small space in between at their place just to stop it locking
in place and while it's in transit but if you turn that plate off you can see
there is a QR cord it's coming finger all of it from use reasons but yeah
that's QR code before adding it to your account once you get to that stage okay
so next we have the backplate that has the protective blue
sticker on obviously the ring light doughnut-shaped that's the protective
one that keeps it from locking in position whilst in transit and the one
I'm pointing to there just indicates if you put the camera on where to put the
allen key to take the camera back off for example if you need to scan the
qr-code but basically on that sticker there it's just telling you to remove
them both once you've got out of the box and you start to install it so you take
the sticker off and it still a backplate there is a rubber disc and then you've
got two exit points for your cable one comes out the bottom and one comes out
the rear so depending on how you're mounting the camera obviously yeah we go
through the rear mount or the bottom mount for the cable and you see there
also the actual back plate has two flats on it so you can't get the camera the
wrong way around that you have to line them up once you are mounting the camera
in position so the way that Google advises you to install this camera is to
put the actual nest app onto your phone first and then scan your QR code off
your particular camera into the nest app and then once you've done that you can
then follow the prompts make sure you can get it connected to your Wi-Fi and
then find a position that your Wi-Fi can see the camera and that is suitable and
it has a strong enough signal so the camera can stream video from itself to
the Wi-Fi and do that consistently okay so let's get to the install the first
thing you need is your backplate and you need to take the blue protective
stickers off that I showed you early in the video so make sure these are removed
and once you get them off the backplate then you just need to find a suitable
position for your mounting holes make sure you get a good fixing for the
backplate to mount and I'm doing it with the cable entry to the bottom but you
can do your to the top if you're go ahead and say into some up into the
eaves we'll find the four holes mark them out with marker pen
I want you gonna marked out then we can get him pre-drilled ready for the raw
plugs so just gonna speed this bit up but basically you're drilling 4 holes to
accept the roll plugs that you use in you might be using a different size to
the ones supplied so drill out the four holes and then
they roll plugs in the four holes you drilled ready to accept the stainless
screws so now is a good time just to offer up your back plate again and just
make sure the four holes that you have drilled all line up so you can just
quickly double-check that and then like I said make sure you have the right bit
in your screwdriver because it can be a bit softer these screws so just get them
started and then what I tend to do is just obviously to give them a nip up
with the electric screwdriver and then I'll finish them off a bit later on just
with a normal handheld screwdriver well this is done it's now time to download
the nest app download it to your device create an account if you haven't already
and then push in the top right hand corner where the cog is scroll down to
the bottom click on add product if you already got an account in it will maybe
admit you're already home account so scan the QR code offer it up to the back
of the camera little QR code way for the bing goes green and then it adds it asks
you then you'll need your Wi-Fi password indoor and outdoor power sockets and
installation guide obviously we skipped a bit of them because we are just going
to do it all in one go so next you're presented with some predefined names for
the camera that Google or nest have decided to give you you can also create
a custom name which I'm going to do so obviously scroll to the bottom and click
on custom name name I'm going to give this one is warehouse because that's
where it's going a warehouse and give you some more precautions click on the
continue button at the bottom again and now we are ready to plug our camera in
so I mentioned beginning the video there are two ends to the seven and a half
meter lead that comes with the camera one that plugs into the actual camera
side and one that plugs in it to your power outside so I'll just
obviously weigh your lamb saw how it's going to sit within the camera make sure
you're happy with that especially if you're clipping it to the wall
so you know what's going on there is two rubber protective ends on each end of
the cable to turn that off before you try to click it in and this then clicks
into the back of the camera so now it's reassuring click and it locks in place
once it's in there to remove that you have to push a little release catch so
make sure you're happy with it before you actually click it home into position
and like I said earlier I just tend just to check these screws a tight and nipped
up summation I'm happy because we handle screwdrivers or not just
any threads and then once we're all happy to mount we scan the QR-code check the
screws we can now offer it over the bottom at first and just click it in to
position they are quite stiff these outdoor
cameras so it's worth just being a bit forceful just to spin the head round I
have one on the earlier ones especially it was very strange just turn it within
the sort of 360 degrees motion but then now obviously we can position our camera
usually with a nest label at the bottom see how your cables gonna run and then
you can clip that to the wall I'm not going to clip it to the wall at this
stage I just want to make sure that I was to keep this video running as quick
as I can to get through it so I will leave that loose for now the other plug
that you can see that's already connected in that power socket is for a
separate camera so I'll get the over end of your cable and like I said they are
labeled with little blue stickers on each end so this one on the actual cable
should have a little sticker indicating and that's the power supply or the
socket and also as the small velcro which is wrapped around the cable
pre-wrapped when you get it so you can tally that up late today when you clip
in everything cup and if you get rid of any excess cables remove the little
rubber cap off the end and now we can just click that into position into the
power supply just clicks implicit position make sure he's okay and now
it's time to plug your power supply into the socket and once it's plugged in you
can then power the camera on you will get a blue ring a light on the actual
camera and we also need to set the protective film off at this stage so
I'll just take that off I just saw me test it in a minute we can see a clear
image you can tell you the cable up now but I'm not going to because it's want
to keep this video moving so yeah so now it's time to go back to the app and you
can see we're ready to push continue so push continue at this stage of your
setup and it will now try and connect to the camera so you see here I already
have one that's called outside yard that was already connected to this the same
account and the warehouse one is the one that's flush at the moment so sometimes
you can get an error at this stage and I'll say it will fail to connect and you
can sometimes think well maybe that's my Wi-Fi and it might be but in my
experience it's usually just been an error in the up side of it and it's
just a case going to tap the camera back off with the release tool it given and
then start the process again through the add product and usually a second or
third time it will connect into your account so we're just waiting for this
one to add to the nest account so this part the process should only take a
minute or so but once it is connected we should get an audible beep pretty much
like this sound I want to hear that beep that is usually a good sign that the
camera has connected into your main nest account or your new nest account
depending on if you've set a brand new account up on Google stroke nest so now
we've got the green light added to your nest account we can now click on the
next get on to the next stage and we should see a nice clear picture of
whatever you're trying to cover with the camera so you can see here now so I said
now it tells you in the Google app to bring your camera outside and plug it in
because it asks you to set the camera up like I said early in the video before
you actually connected to a wall I've just connected to the wall because I'm
used to setting these up another thing to notice is if you change any settings
within the camera so they can see I've just turned on audio recording within
the camera it will shut the camera down then restart it so you will lose the
feed briefly whilst it just resets itself and turns on turns off whatever
you're adjusting within the settings but once that has refreshed and restarted
the cameras will come back live again and then you should get a picture like
set of the camera coverage area so now's the time to give the camera a twist and
a turn and just tweak it to exactly how you want it because you obviously got a
live feed on your phone or app or computer so it's best to have it in
position whilst you are near the camera and then you can adjust it change the
angle twist it within the 360 degrees rotation around the x and y and once you
get it into position you can then click on the next icon and that should then
finalise it into your account so if you want to put familiar face detection on
again you can switch this on I'm not going to do for this particular account
I don't want that act related with these cameras there isn't a
secondary camera so once we've clicked on the back arrow to go back to the main
home page you should then get a nice clear picture of the a single camera
feed or multiple camera feeds that you currently have okay so that's it that's
